SMALL ANTIQUE ETHNIC SILVER BRACELET YEMEN ARAB MIDDLE EASTERN JEWISH TRIBAL 50g

Description

Old Bedouin Bracelet Handmade
Yemen or Saudi Arabia
Rashaida/Nubia+Yemen
(Al-Dhahiyy )The beautiful cucumber style armlet
or
maadhid musannan
has fine  silver work. The ornament is hollow and in good condition with some creasing/denting due to age and use.  It feels strong and tougher than would be expected.Two of the small flat circle decorations on the bracelet may be chipped off but it is not noticeable. I have not noticed it until now.  There is a hairline crack in the silver in the interior on and off for approximately 1.5 inches long.
This is an old item, probably from late 19th to early 20th century and made by a silversmith from old Yemeni silver that was melted down and reworked. Today's brides are interested in gold in most cases and the old style bracelets are becoming rare and often melted down.
I purchased this about 10 years ago at a antique store in Dubai.  Now it is time for someone else to treasure and protect this item. I am looking for the full price
